Boyd was accused of breaking into a car at the Ridgeland Municipal Court Complex and stealing a purse, which contained a firearm, police said. The gun was recovered inside the North Alabama Street home, police said.

Jackson police are now trying to track Boyd down in connection with another car break-in that was reported 13 days after Boyd's arrest in the Ridgeland case.

Anyone with information about Boyd's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS.
